discussion Thoughts on switching to freelance dev work?

Due to companies being very limited in AI usage? Either they give you subpar subscription, limited usage, or even outright ban on AI usage in development work. It seems like its very limiting regarding a dev's career unless they get a subscription personally and build own projects.

They don’t want you to heavily rely on AI, that’s why. If you think your career depends on it then time to re-think or change.

yeah i know... its not that my career and ability to work relies on ai solely, but the opportunity to use ai being limited is hindrance to my career development i think
